Anjali Batra, Founder of Food Talk India says, “A true culinary journey — over the years the show has changed the way we not only eat but also the way we think and speak about food. Our palate has evolved as we got exposed to all these wonderful ingredients, gourmet cooking techniques and some of the most amazing chefs. Inspired by some of these techniques today we took our guests on an exciting MasterChef inspired journey with an amuse bouche to 5 techniques as seen on the show, bringing gourmet to their plate.”
